Abstract (EN): Portugal will build the warm support and access structure (WSS) to the mid-infrared, first generation ELT instrument METIS. The particular characteristics of METIS and the ELT pose several challenges to designing the WSS according to requirements, as well challenges to the assembly and integration of the WSS. We here provide you an overview of those challenges, as well as strategies to overcome and mitigate issues related to the mass and dimensions of the WSS.
